Book excerpt: Thiteen analytical methods covering 35 analytes which may be present in a variety of environmental sample types are described in datail. Three of these methods are sample preparation procedures that require a separate determinate step found in other methods in this manual or sewhere. These methods involve a wide range of analytical instrumentation including inductively coupled plasma (ICP)/atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), ICP/massspectroscopy (MS), atomic absorption (AA) spectrocroscopy, ion chromatography (IC), and high performance liquid chmotography (HPLC). Application of these techniques to a diverse group of sample types is a somewhat unique feature of this manual.
